What is with the pornographic adverts? #57

Closed Krelsis closed 6 years ago

Krelsis commented 6 years ago

Just opened one of my previous pastes, noticed you've started using blockadblock, so naturally I disabled adblock, only to see that the adverts you have on your site are pornographic, asked other people to turn there's off to confirm, it seems they are seeing it too, can't you use something a little more appropriate for your ads? Some of us are trying to use your tool for legitimate purposes only to be thwarted by these inappropriate ads.

Hi, thanks for reporting, could you please share the link to the note?

RichGriese commented 6 years ago

@Krelsis It seems if you have a number of URLs in the note NoteHub is now adding porn to the page. I've noticed self it can sometimes just take 3 URLs to turn the note into a porn site. Enjoy life!

chmllr commented 6 years ago

Actually the ads are context depended. Also, creating notes as hubs for links is prohibited by terms of service.

@chmllr Just trying to save @Krelsis some time. Months ago I found that a page I had created for links to resources on early Christian history was now showing porn. Sounds like he was coming across the same problem. Enjoy life!

Krelsis commented 6 years ago

Not exactly the best idea to make the ads content dependend, something that was SFW is now NSFW and can no longer be viewed safely :/

chmllr commented 6 years ago

@Krelsis no, you should not see any ads in the first place if you did not violate TOS. That's why I am asking for a link to your note.

Krelsis commented 6 years ago

Welp, Looking at the TOS you're not allowed hop sites, which this is not, and you're not allowed to do anything unlawful nor attempt to modify or extend any of the software contained on the site, that considerred, I copy and pasted the contents of the notehub page to a new notehub, low and behold no ads this time, I'm not sure what flagged the first page but meh, Would excessive views flag it for adding adverts? The link to the old paste is : https://notehub.org/kbw28 and new is : https://notehub.org/8ybmt

I closed the service completely.
